THE DISAPPEARED is a meticulously researched work of fiction which draws upon first-hand testimonies from the grandmothers of the disappeared and members of the judiciary involved in combatting the drug trade.

Each scene unravels itself before us in a very simple, yet extraordinary way. We care about the characters because they seem real, vulnerable, tarnished. And the strand of mourning throughout the book, the deep cut off loss, is ever-present' Jeff Weston, journalist & author of Mutler
